Tropical Botanical Garden

Belém is one of the most beautiful areas of Lisbon. And it is there that you will also find one of the most romantic places, such as the Tropical Botanical Garden.
Located near the Jerónimos Monastery, this spot is not only a true green oasis in the middle of the city, but also contains several romantic elements, such as lakes, caves, and pergolas.
Any viewpoint in Lisbon
@rubenmneves
Flirting at a viewpoint is something spectacular, almost always with a fabulous view wherever that viewpoint is facing.
Exchanging tender kisses at the Maat viewpoint, the Nossa Senhora do Monte viewpoint, the Santa Luzia viewpoint, or even the Santa Catarina viewpoint, better known as the Adamastor viewpoint, can be truly incredible.
Whichever Lisbon viewpoint you choose to take your significant other to admire Lisbon from above, our readers guarantee that it is in these romantic places in Lisbon that you will get your most passionate kiss ever.
Largo da Achada, in Mouraria
Largo da Achada, one of Lisbon’s most secret places
At the risk of this little paradise being “invaded” by many curious visitors, we cannot ignore one of Lisbon’s most charmingspots, where you can stop for a while to rest fromyour tour of the Mouraria neighborhood.
Largo da Achada is right behind the Church of São Cristóvão, next to one of the oldest houses in the city, with doors and windows that are very difficult to find in Lisbon today.
In the green of Monsanto
@w360.pt
The color red is more associated with love than green! Well, here it also depends on your club preferences, doesn’t it?
But choosing the green of Monsanto Forest Park to spend quality time with our loved ones is undoubtedly one of our readers’ top choices.
Monsanto Park has so many hideaways to discover, so many places to stroll and “steal” a passionate kiss, for example, next to the Panorâmico de Monsanto, that it may well become your favorite place to date in Lisbon.
Garcia d’Orta Gardens, in Parque das Nações
Located on the riverfront, more precisely in Parque das Nações, between the Vasco da Gama Tower and the Altice Arena, these gardens are authentic refuges in Lisbon, composed of several plots representing the exotic and tropical botany of countries linked to the Portuguese Discoveries, such as Timor, São Tomé, and Brazil.
Within these gardens, we are sure you will find your place of refuge away from the stress of the city and, as they are covered with many trees, there is always shade for thehottestdays.
Padrão dos Descobrimentos
@pexels
The banks of the Tagus are one of the places where you see the most couples in love, strolling hand in hand, engaged in loving conversations about their future together.
But it is next to the Padrão dos Descobrimentos, preferably when the sun is setting, that our readers say that most romantic moments can happen. We couldn’t agree more!
Parque dos Moinhos, in Restelo
Parque dos Moinhos de Santana is a veritable green amphitheater. | @vleandro
The entire park is an authentic amphitheater with several green spaces, a lake, and a viewpoint overlooking the Tagus River that will leave you speechless.
And, at the top of the hill, there is a huge leisure area where the two large windmills are located .
Because it is so huge, we are sure you will find a “corner” where you can relax in peace.
Cold Greenhouse
In this garden, there are also small benches that invite you to pause and contemplate.
There is no doubt that this year, love is greener than ever! And anyone who chooses the Estufa Fria to spend this date will certainly not leave there with any regrets.
The Estufa Fria is located in Eduardo VII Park, and we guarantee that in this special place in the heart of Lisbon, you will be able to enjoy a very pleasant stroll with your better half.
Jardim do Torel

This is one of our favorite gardens and the ideal place to enjoy a breathtaking view of the western part of Lisbon, the Avenida da Liberdade valley, and the São Roque hill, which is home to the São Pedro de Alcântara garden.
It has several garden benches and a café with a terrace ( during part of the year), so there are plenty of places to sit and chat with your (future) soulmate on a first date.
Namoradeiras do Cais das Colunas
@Ana Luísa Alvim/CML
The reconstruction of the Muro das Namoradeiras, the removal of the landfill at Cais das Colunas, and the renovation of facilities next to the station and at Doca da Marinha, where you can now relax on the terraces and watch the traditional boats, have made this an even more pleasant place to be with those we love most.
That’s why it’s quite normal for this area to be full of couples enjoying the late afternoon together.
Anywhere in Sintra
@yana_hurskaya
The village of Sintra is undoubtedly one of the most romantic places in Lisbon.
Proof of this is the atmosphere that reigns there, in addition to the palaces that always remind us of the greatest love stories.
The Pena Palace, the Monserrate Palace, and the Regaleira Estate are just a few of the incredible examples that make Sintra one of the most exciting places in Portugal, exuding love from every pore.
Ajuda Botanical Garden
@Ringo Giacobelis
The Ajuda Botanical Garden has many curiosities and secrets that you can discover with your significant other on February 14.
Gulbenkian Garden
@fcgulbenkian
Talking about romantic places in Lisbon without mentioning the Gulbenkian Garden would simply be a crime.
Most visited during the hottest days of the year, the Gulbenkian Garden has that mysterious “je ne sais quoi” that can make anyone excited.
Oh, and it has many “hidden” corners where you might just share your first kiss.
Alfama at night
Is there a better place to fall in love with your partner than in Alfama? For us, there isn’t!
We love this typical Lisbon neighborhood and everything it has to offer during the day, but like any typical Lisbon neighborhood, it is at night that other attractions are revealed, the kind that appeal to many who are in love with Lisbon.
Beaches
@josefmagalhaes
Yes, the beaches, whatever they may be, on the Cascais Line or the Costa da Caparica.
The beaches are one of our readers’ favorite places, to which they have once again “added” that sunset that everyone wants to see and admire at the end of the day. And it’s even more romantic for two!
